The Visibility of Government on the Web: Insights from a Large-Scale Crawl
Friday, 22 August 2008 at 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Seminar Room A, HC Coombs Building (9), Fellows Road
In this paper, an approach for adaptively sampling Web data is introduced and implemented using a 2005 large-scale crawl of the .au domain. A sample of websites of organisations advocating on behalf of various groups in society (ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities) is drawn adaptively using information on the presence of particular keywords and the link structure between websites. Various estimators of the Web presence of these groups (e.g. total number of sites, number of inlinks to and from the rest of the Web, connection to government) are then constructed.
